Baptist that examines how slavery helped shape the rise of the United States as a modern capitalist power. Rather than treating slavery as a separate and outdated institution, the book argues that the expansion of slave labor after American independence was deeply connected to finance, industrial growth, territorial expansion, and the creation of wealth. Baptist uses plantation records, slave narratives, newspapers, and political and economic sources to show how cotton production and coerced labor helped transform the South and support national economic development. The book is both a reinterpretation of U.S. history and a critique of the ways conventional narratives have minimized slavery’s central role in building American prosperity.
